Chronological List of Works Discussed Chronological List of Works Discussed This is a selected list, limited to those novels, movies, and other creative works that I have discussed more than in passing. Unfortunately, there is no ideal way to set out such a list. I have settled on chronological order, except that I have grouped items by the same author or in the same movie franchise. When in doubt, I have erred on the side of including inherently important works if they receive more than a mention in the text. The number of works listed for a particular author is not necessarily an indication of the relative space given to discussion of the author in the main text. For example, I list only two works for Samuel R. Delany, but one of them, Stars in My Pocket Like Grains of Sand, is discussed at substantial length. Although the works I have chosen for discussion have been strongly influenced by my particular focus on science fiction and moral philosophy, what follows could function as a reasonable introductory reading and viewing list for people wishing to immerse themselves in the SF genre. Early Modernity Johannes Kepler. Somnium, Sive Astronomia Lunaris (completed c. 1608– 1609, but not formally published until 1634). Jonathan Swift.

  • University Microfilms International 300 N
    INFORMATION TO USERS This was produced from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the mateiial submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or “target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “Missing Page(s)”. If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure you of complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark it is an indication that the film inspector noticed either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, or duplicate copy. Unless we meant to delete copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed, you will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photo­ graphed the photographer has followed a definite method in “sectioning” the material. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again—beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. For any illustrations that cannot be reproduced satisfactorily by xerography, photographic prints can be purchased at additional cost and tipped into your xerographic copy.

  • Last and First Men
    LAST AND FIRST MEN A STORY OF THE NEAR AND FAR FUTURE by W. Olaf Stapledon Project Gutenburg PREFACE THIS is a work of fiction. I have tried to invent a story which may seem a possible, or at least not wholly impossible, account of the future of man; and I have tried to make that story relevant to the change that is taking place today in man's outlook. To romance of the future may seem to be indulgence in ungoverned speculation for the sake of the marvellous. Yet controlled imagination in this sphere can be a very valuable exercise for minds bewildered about the present and its potentialities. Today we should welcome, and even study, every serious attempt to envisage the future of our race; not merely in order to grasp the very diverse and often tragic possibilities that confront us, but also that we may familiarize ourselves with the certainty that many of our most cherished ideals would seem puerile to more developed minds. To romance of the far future, then, is to attempt to see the human race in its cosmic setting, and to mould our hearts to entertain new values. But if such imaginative construction of possible futures is to be at all potent, our imagination must be strictly disciplined. We must endeavour not to go beyond the bounds of possibility set by the particular state of culture within which we live. The merely fantastic has only minor power. Not that we should seek actually to prophesy what will as a matter of fact occur; for in our present state such prophecy is certainly futile, save in the simplest matters.

TEACHING SPECULATIVE FICTION IN COLLEGE: A PEDAGOGY FOR MAKING ENGLISH STUDIES RELEVANT by JAMES HAMMOND SHIMKUS Under the Direction of Dr. Elizabeth Burmester ABSTRACT Speculative fiction (science fiction, fantasy, and horror) has steadily gained popularity both in culture and as a subject for study in college. While many helpful resources on teaching a particular genre or teaching particular texts within a genre exist, college teachers who have not previously taught science fiction, fantasy, or horror will benefit from a broader pedagogical overview of speculative fiction, and that is what this resource provides. Teachers who have previously taught speculative fiction may also benefit from the selection of alternative texts presented here. This resource includes an argument for the consideration of more speculative fiction in college English classes, whether in composition, literature, or creative writing, as well as overviews of the main theoretical discussions and definitions of each genre.

  • Astrosociology and Science Fiction: a Synergy
    Astrosociology and Science Fiction: a Synergy Simone Caroti Purdue University 500 Oval Drive West Lafayette, IN 765-426-4380; [email protected] Abstract. Both astrosociology and science fiction have claimed outer space as their preferred turf. Astrosociology did so in order to study the impact of space on human societies, and to develop a set of protocols that earthbound governments can utilize to prepare us for the next phase of humanity’s adventure outside our home planet. Science fiction, on the other hand, found in outer space a fitting environment for dramatizing in a work of fiction the potential outcomes attending the kind of decision astrosociology is trying to foster in actuality. This paper explores the relationship between the two fields, and examines ways in which science fiction can contribute to the creation of an astrosociological consciousness. Particular attention will be given to the most relevant commonality that the two fields share: both astrosociology and science fiction are earthbound disciplines, areas of inquiry created by those who never left earth for those who never left earth. They can potentially function as partners in the endeavor of educating the bulk of humanity on the subject of space flight and space colonization. Keywords: Astrosociology, Science Fiction, Astrosocial Phenomena, Astrosocial Triggers, Definitions. PACS: 87.23.Ge; 89.65.s; 89.65.Ef INTRODUCTION My purpose in this paper is twofold: on the one hand, I will attempt to give a functional working definition of both astrosociology (AS) and science fiction (SF), with a view to identifying their respective areas of competence. On the other hand, I will try to develop a series of protocols through whose agency science fiction can either become an astrosociological discipline or open itself up to an astrosociological perspective.
